Development
Johan Souply started writing the script to an unofficial short film based on the Phantom Manor ride in 2020, to celebrate the 10 years of a fake movie trailer based on the ride that he had uploaded on his YouTube channel.[2] This is the longest film he had written, having already worked as a director, producer, and writer with his team for Disney and other theme parks, and other companies such as TF1 and the Eiffel Tower company.[4]
He officially announced the project on his YouTube channel in January 2021, and created a campaign on the French crowdfunding platform Ulule with a goal of €10,000. In 3 months, he received 244 % of his initial goal, with a total of €24,428 out of 754 contributions, allowing him to keep scenes that were originally deemed too complex and expensive.[5][6][7]
The project started to be talked about on internet and in the press. €20,000 more were acquired including over €10,000 for the construction of the sets, and the French production company A-Squad Pictures joined the project and provided Souply with a team and over €100,000 of professional audiovisual equipment.[1]

One week later, Souply posted images of filming on social media, announcing for the first time Venturelli in the role of Melanie Ravenswood.[14][5]
Filming took place during the rest of the year in studio, with some outdoor scenes filmed in the French western-themed theme park of Fraispertuis City.[1]
